dbg-macro is a debugging macro for C++ that provides convenient print-based debugging output.
The macro solves the problem of verbose, repetitive debugging output by offering a compact syntax for inspecting variable values during development. Rather than writing manual print statements with format specifiers, developers call dbg(variable) and the macro automatically prints the variable name, its value, and source location information. This approach reduces boilerplate while making debug output more readable and consistent across a codebase.
The tool suits developers who prefer print-based debugging over interactive debuggers, particularly in rapid prototyping or when working in environments where debuggers are inconvenient. It works well in small to medium projects where quick iteration matters more than sophisticated debugging infrastructure. The macro integrates into existing C++ codebases with minimal setup since it requires only header inclusion.
Development on the project is sparse and infrequent, with long gaps between updates. The maintainer responds to issues and pull requests when they arrive but does not actively drive the project forward with new features or regular maintenance cycles.
